Testimonials

At Del Mar Auto and Radiator, we pride ourselves on providing exceptional customer service and quality workmanship. Here's what some of our satisfied customers have to say about us:

"Never driven a faster car before I came here to get my side windows repaired and they took my car very quickly and started working on it almost right away. The service is very good, all the workers are very friendly and the price is unbeatable! I will come back soon!" - Marisol P., Pasadena, CA
"Very happy with my car purchase I'm going to keep this simple because, as Diana mentioned already - others have provided in-depth reviews on the types of services performed. What I will speak to is the fact that I moved, and still bring my car to Hutch and Del Mar. It's a pain in the ass to do this, seriously. But I like road trips with my son, and want to know my car isn't going to leave me stranded and is safe, and Hutch makes sure I have that piece of mind. Plus he gives good advice. What advice? Me: I want a new car. Hutch: Why do you want a new car? So you can get a girl? This car is great, you own this car, it'll go 500K miles and can't get repo'd. Why you want a new car? Me: Good point. Go to Del Mar. Good mechanics are hard to find." - Jonathan M., South Pasadena, CA
"Never driven a faster car before Now I know that most us have this sinking feeling in our gut as we make our way to a auto mechanic because we have that dreaded fear that we will be spending an exuberant amount of money. I was feeling this same exact feeling as I had procrastinated way too long with in getting my brakes replaced. Hutch and the rest of the crew was top notch. They got me in as a walk-in and immediately worked on my car which was ready a couple of hours later. Excellent customer service. On top of replacing my breaks, they also tightened my emergency brake at no cost. I was quoted $80 by the dealer to get this service done. Now don't go to this place expecting free service, it is a business after all but it just goes to show how they will go above and beyond. Rest assured as you and your car will be in good hands." - Richard C., Pasadena, CA
